Where It Started
It began somewhere ordinary, which is where the best things usually do, and neither of them knew it yet.
The two of you at the place you first met, drawn from your photos and standing a little apart.
Someone you love and the person beside them, from the day they met to the life they share now. Your own words about the first meeting, the private joke and the moment you knew are quoted in the book, and both of you are drawn from your photos on every page.

Your photos are only used to draw the people in this book - never published, sold or used to train AI. 2,450+ families since we began.
A story for more than one person: you'll add a photo of each person in it as well as the hero's, and the prices above include everyone in the book.
These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh from your answers - their name woven through every page, and the three things you tell us quoted word for word in the chapters.

It began somewhere ordinary, which is where the best things usually do, and neither of them knew it yet.
The two of you at the place you first met, drawn from your photos and standing a little apart.

There were late trains, borrowed coats and a joke that only someone you love and one other person would ever understand.
An ordinary evening in the first year, sharing one umbrella and laughing at something nobody else heard.

Years later, someone you love still looks across the table and makes the same choice as on that first day.
Today, side by side at your own table, older and plainly still pleased to be in the same room.
These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with them in it when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.
Our Story So Far is the anniversary book for a couple, written from the answers one of you gives about the other. You tell us where you met, the line only the two of you laugh at, and the moment you knew, and those sentences appear word for word inside the chapters. Both of you are drawn from your own photos on every page, so the cover shows two real faces and both names.
It suits any couple, whether the first meeting was recent or decades ago. A paper anniversary, a wedding morning or an engagement all fit, because the book follows your own timeline rather than a fixed script. It reads aloud comfortably in one sitting, and the three answers take a few minutes to write if you already know the stories.
For Sam, who still saves me the window seat on every train we take together.

Our Story So Far is a book about a grown-up, written in the voice of a gift book rather than a picture book. During setup you answer three short questions about them, and your answers are quoted word for word in the chapters.
You upload a photo of the person the book is about, choose man or woman, and they become the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - recognizable across all 12 chapters. Anyone else in the story is drawn from their own photo, and their name and a dedication are woven in too.
Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $16.90, softcover $44.90 and hardcover $49.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.
Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
